Vibrant Veggie Egg Muffins: A Nutritious Start to Your Day

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Veggie Mix

• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded carrots

Wet Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons milk (or plant‑based alternative)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasonings & Garnish

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

Mixing the Egg Base

1. Whisk the eggs. In a large bowl, crack 12 large eggs and whisk until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy. Adding 2 tablespoons milk at this stage creates a silkier texture and helps the muffins rise.
2. Incorporate cheese and seasonings. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. These seasonings infuse each bite with savory depth.
3. Fold in vegetables. Gently fold the cooled vegetable mixture into the egg‑cheese blend, ensuring even distribution without over‑mixing. Over‑mixing can make the final product dense rather than airy.
